The Los Angeles Lakers, pushed out of the National Basketball Association spotlight by LeBron James and the Miami Heat the past few seasons, are poised to return with a revamped roster and a television deal worth $3 billion.
The team that has won the most NBA games in history added point guard Steve Nash, a two-time league Most Valuable Player, and center Dwight Howard, a six-time All-Star. They join five-time champion Kobe Bryant, 34, who has scored more points than any other active player.
